Van Winkle’s has created a Sleep Debt Clock, which is designed to track America’s sleep debt since January 1, 2016 and shows how far behind we are on our sleep.
How did it come to be? Well, we put on our Big Data hats and set out to quantify our national rest deficit, defined as the difference between the amount of sleep we should be getting and the hours we’re actually logging. After pouring through surveys on American sleep habits from government agencies and polling firms, as well as smaller population and clinical studies, we arrived at a formula and created a sleep clock.
